I pretty much did the same thing as I did with my leaves and autumn butterfly cards.
Spread texture paste through the stencil and while it was still wet sprinkled infusions powder onto it. Some of the colour spread but I wanted to colour the background as well so I spritzed it with water.

This technique is so much fun! The infusions are a bit like brushos but the walnut powder in them gives a totally different look.

Hi again, I'm getting lots of cards made so far these holidays, although my internet usage is nearly gone again!

When I coloured these butterflies they had quite a grungy feel to them so I thought they needed a grungy sort of background. I blended a few distress inks together to create this one.

I found my old typewriter in our shed and typed "ënjoy the"on some tissue paper so I could glue it onto the tag to add to the sentiment. This was my first go and I needed to touch up some of the tissue paper that still showed white. I'll keep experimenting lol!

This time I spread white texture paste through this butterfly stencil, then sprinkled some infusions powder on. When it was dry I spritzed it with water, the infusions still reacted and created this autumn coloured background! Hubby thinks it looks more like a moth than a butterfly! Either way I still like it.

Hi everyone, I've had limited time on the computer lately as we didn't realize Windows 10 was doing huge automatic updates that had used nearly all of our monthly usage! We're on satellite NBN which is fast, but limited in what we can have per month. Lesson learned!

I've paired this sleepy cat from Katzelkraft with a retired Stampin Up sentiment set called Just Sayin. My cat often looks like this!

I've used a snippet of black for my tag layer and the sentiment was stamped and diecut from another white scrap, so I'm visiting the snippets playground at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
You only need to use one snippet to join in.

Hi everyone, I needed a quick birthday card, so diecut some butterflies from a sheet of watercolor paper that I'd sprinkled sandstone brushos on.
I diecut a black layer also to add more definition on the white background.

This is the first time I've played with my Stamplorations leaf stencil so I'm also popping over to Darnell's NBUS challenge. It's a great incentive to pull out all of those goodies that have yet to used, so thanks Darnell!
